TWHSParent Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 I'm looking forward to seeing how wrong I am today! Quote
El Gato_01 Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 Well it looks like CTJ may have been knocked down a spot to Vandy... Quote
BlueCircle Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 Vandy! I had them taking over all Music and Visual. And Leander with GE. But I forgot that Leander wasn’t AAAA. Quote

TWHSParent Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 Every class was a sweep, although very few AA and A bands. Quote

principalagent Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 Well, my call was right. I saw those three in and they all made it. And the two I saw out were the ones out. It's a new day for the Austin Regional! TWHSParent 1 Quote
BlueCircle Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 To be honest, I was completely anticipating no Round Rock...but no Henny lost 1 Quote
LostChoirGuy Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 Wow! No Hendrickson or Round Rock in finals! Congratulations to Rouse, Westwood, and Lake Travis!!! Quote
A Testing Trumpet Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 Congrats to all that made finals! Those were some surprising results. Quote
LostChoirGuy Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 I also wonder if penalties made a difference for anyone... Quote

PLC137 Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 Yes... Can't complain about the finalist selections. My observations: No one from Pflugerville. (That sucks) Every Leander ISD band made it (though Glenn HS was not here this time) CTJ not entitled to the Gold just for having a complete show. Aquaflamma85 1 Quote
Band2013 Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 Rouse and Westwood I predicted to make finals. Now Lake Travis Surprised Me! Wow congrats. Quote
Samuel Culper Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 Very happy for Westwood, Lake Travis and ROUSE! Quote

principalagent Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 OKAY. Had to comb through recaps but now time for some preliminary history keeping: Congrats to Lake Travis on their first ever regional finalist position! They're going to have a killer season. Congrats to Rouse on their first ever regional finalist position as well! They completely deserve it. Additionally, LISD has five representatives in finals tonight, the most of any school district in the country for a regular season regional. For all regionals, they're just behind Cobb County, GA, which got 6 into Atlanta Super Finals in 2008. Leander continues to hold onto 3A Class Champion. They've only lost it once since 2014--and they won the regional the time they lost it. Congrats to Vandegrift for their Class Championship as well! They are one of the few bands to hold a class championship in every single class. Finally, a hearty congratulations to Westwood! This is their first regular regional final after knocking around the 11-13 range at this regional since it began. Can't wait to see where their season takes them as well. EDIT: forgot a couple! Congrats to Hays for continuing a strong legacy of being a new band with a Class Championship! In fact, it's the first ever BOA accolade in their school district's history! And Veterans Memorial is the first band in Judson ISD to ever be crowned a class champion as well. Congrats to them! A Testing Trumpet 1 Quote
Rubisco Posted September 28, 2019 Posted September 28, 2019 Oooh. I love a good upset! I had a feeling CTJ might not come out on top after seeing some more recent clips (mainly because of dirt), but it seemed like a bad bet to bet against them. Still haven’t seen anything from Vandegrift. Loved their opener music. Tonight will be interesting! A Testing Trumpet 1 Quote
